It looks as though Jon Freeman won't be announcing his new website forum here (he announced it two days ago in the Usenet folk music groups). For those of you who have been interested in an on-topic, moderated folk music forum, here it is!

Personally, I'm thrilled to see that Jon's hard work has finally come to fruition. Now it is up to those of us who are seeking a forum free of the excesses of both Usenet groups and Mudcat, to put our money where our mouths have been, and make of it what we will.

So, I hope people will join with me in congratulating Jon Freeman on putting HIS money where his mouth was, and actually doing something about creating another kind of folk music forum which doesn't exist anywhere else on the 'net. Not too many of us would do the same, obviously. So kudos to Jon!
